My girlfriend and I are trying to find latex-free underwear that aren't fugly. We came across this website and the last line in the undergarments section says, "Cotton socks without elastic."

She thinks it's suggesting you wear socks AS underwear. I think it's suggesting you buy cotton socks that simply aren't made with elastic to wear ON YOUR FEET. *LOL*

Talk to me.


Also, find me non-fugly latex-free undies, please.

    They have a sock section! Why wouldn't it be in the sock section!? They're telling you to wear socks without elastic as underwear.

    This is your best option for latex free and not fugly.

    I prefer 100% cotton myself. Hence the granny panty pity parties I often throw myself. :(

    Tie 3 stocks together and make a thong.

    I think we have ourselves a business idea, I'll have my people start drawing up the partnership papers. You work on product development, I'll look for some funding.

    I'm not going commando. I want non-fugly latex free undies, and I apparently need to start my own business to get them *LOL*

    I won't say who wrote this, but I do think everyone should read it :) Who the hell has "bedtime undies" and "work undies?"

    "I have a whole DRAWER full of my underwear.
    One drawer.
    Nothing in it but underwear.
    All types
    My work undies are my power undies. Lace and strings and bondage stuff and RAWR!
    They're angry panties that give me an angry snatch so I destroy features at work with ease. They're not for comfort.
    My bedtime panties are soft. Like the underbelly of a unicorn. Begging to be touched. They show a little cheek, but not too much. Just enough."

    I, personally, always wear my socks under my shoes, and am opposed to the wearing of socks over other footwear. Socks as outerwear are both unattractive and potentially unsafe. Don't go there.

    You'll think about it when all her pink parts flare up from elastic *LOL* Other weird things: Latex paint, the rubber on shoes, medical equipment (crutches, braces, etc)....

    Avocados and Bananas seem to also trigger reactions in a lot of latex allergies

    Hahahahaha!!!!!!! I agree with you OP. They are making suggestions for you feet, but put them in the wrong category.

    What about this site? They're not too fugly, but not many options:

    I HATE underwear! when i wear the full cover, bikini, or whatever other design they have, they give me wedgies and they never fit right. Mostly because i dont have an *kitten*. and then when they fit ok i have to stand perfectly still otherwise the underwear will bite into my lack of butt cheek and i that ugly double butt cheek. its either that or they totally sag...no in between. and thongs....sigh. sometimes they are uncomfortable.
